I was shaving my legs this morning when I noticed that I have a huge, black bruise on the back of my calf, just under my knee.
I'm not exactly sure how I got it. From the size and nasty look of it, you'd think I'd know when I did myself this injury, but I don't.
My only guess is that it happened when I was helping Carrie take her new mattress upstairs. The stairs are narrow and wonky (as anyone who's been to my house and seen them can attest) and the box this mattress came in was big, heavy, and awkward. It's entirely possible that I mashed my leg on one of the stairs while hauling up this box.
And it's possible that didn't feel it because right before we started hauling this thing upstairs, I mashed my foot and that hurt pretty much a lot.
Oddly enough, my foot didn't bruise at all.
But, man, my leg looks like someone took a bat to me. I should take a picture for posterity. It's fierce.
